This film influenced me incrediblly, being by one of my favorite directors:David Lynch. I am also a huge Twin Peaks fan, so I'm sure that played a part as well. But I actually think the film stands alone quite well, for those of you who have never seen the television series. All in all, a landmark film in my opinion.
What can I say about Blade Runner that hasn't already been said. I can say its probably my favorite science-fiction film of all time. This film was based on the novel:"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", written by Philip K. Dick.
Speaking of science-fiction greats, that brings me to Dark City, the best film of the genre since Dune. I am well aware that, for the most part, this film did not receive favorable reviews. Never-the-less I consider it to be a true mile-stone in cinema.
I love this film! I have often thought that if I were to direct a film, it would share a great deal in common with Strange Days. I should also note that the story you see in this film is mostly the vision of James Cameron(see below).
What I love about the works of Shakespeare is personified in this extraordinary film by Kenneth Branaugh.
Aliens, The Abyss, and Terminator 2 are the highlights of one of the greatest visionaries in film history. Strong words, I know, but I believe them to be true. James Cameron is one of the few people i consider to possess true genius. His films have all hit me like a slap in the face, with their raw vitality, their incredible cinemetography, and last but not least, their vast human appeal, being able to always instill the sense of hope our world so desperately needs. Of all his films, The Abyss is by far my favorite. It fills me with a sense of wonder that I remember from my childhood,like when I watched Star Wars for the first time.
One of the most brilliant, yet disturbing films ever made.
A film...actually it's probably the quintisential film by one of my favorite directors,Hal Hartley. His fims are an aquired taste, but I absolutely love them.
